1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The internal quality assessment of potato tubers is a crucial task in agro-laboratory processing. Traditional methods struggle to detect internal defects such as hollow heart, internal bruises, and insect galleries using only surface features. We present a novel, fully modular hybrid AI architecture designed for defect detection using RGB images of potato slices, suitable for integration in laboratory. Our pipeline combines high-recall multi-threshold YOLO detection, contextual patch validation using ResNet, precise segmentation via the Segment Anything Model (SAM), and skin-contact analysis using VGG16 with a Random Forest classifier. Experimental results on a labeled dataset of over 6000 annotated instances show a recall above 95% and precision near 97.2% for most defect classes. The approach offers both robustness and interpretability, outperforming previous methods that rely on costly hyperspectral or MRI techniques. This system is scalable, explainable, and compatible with existing 2D imaging hardware.
